Does burnt hair grow back?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

    • Burnt hair shafts do not regrow.
    • New hair can grow if hair follicles are intact.
  2. Factors Affecting Regrowth

    • Healthy scalp and follicles allow regrowth over months.
    • Severe burns damaging follicles may limit regrowth.
  3. Recommendations

    • Keep the scalp clean and avoid further trauma.
    • Consult a dermatologist if no regrowth occurs after a few months.

Summary: New hair can grow if follicles are unharmed. Proper scalp care is essential.

I'm worried about my face getting so oily after being dry for so long. I've been dealing with regular breakouts and the pimples I get are mostly whiteheads, blackheads, and sometimes a few painful bumps. I've tried a bunch of different products to get rid of them, but nothing really seems to work. I don't have a ton of pimples, just around 8 to 10, and I do use makeup as well. Could you suggest a routine that might help keep my face clear of zits?

Since you have been experiencing oily skin and regular breakouts with whiteheads, blackheads, and occasional painful bumps, it sounds like you may be dealing with acne. To help keep your face zit-free, I recommend starting with a gentle cleanser containing salicylic acid to help unclog pores and reduce oiliness. Follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without clogging your pores. Incorporating a topical retinoid cream at night can also help with acne and prevent future breakouts. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is essential to protect your skin from further damage. As you mentioned using makeup products, opt for oil-free and non-comedogenic formulas to prevent worsening your acne. In case of persistent breakouts, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and prescription treatments such as benzoyl peroxide or topical antibiotics.

I woke up this morning with a blister filled with what seems like water on my left leg. I'm unsure why this happened or if I need to see a doctor about it. Any ideas on what could have caused this or what I should do?

That could be heat boil or any sort of insect bite, do not try to squeeze it, visit surgeon for appropriate management

I'm dealing with a fungal infection in the area around my penis and have started using some medications. I have a question about the abzorb powder Im using to prevent sweating in that area. Is it alright to apply it over the cream I'm using? Also, can I use the powder separately, and will it really help with the issue?

No,don't use both cream and powder simultaneously because neither will work ,use ointment twice a day and in between you can use powder.
